Xmas list - traditional looking swinton shirt available to buy in time for the big day .....25 th December!

On the playing side, centres and wingers...we improved over the last few games with penny, Williams, Mendieka and nanyn. Given penny has gone we are likely to have none of them next year and I think losing Higson and Armstrong from 2012 set us back at the start of this year.

And finally, if it is not too much to ask for more, another season from mark smith (a joy to watch these last three years )

I don't mind stealing bread from the mouths of decadence.

"Be mindful of the prayers you send,
Pray hard but pray with care,
For the tears that you are crying now,
Are just your answered prayers"

I'd like to see us keep the big lads like Tahouri Brown and the second rowers like Sarsfield .
Id also like to see Smith give it one last hurrah and of course keep the Hawkyards. I think Harvey has a big part to play especially if he gets his knee fixed
As for new faces I think a trawl of the amateur game to unearth some fast young half back for Watto to coach and maybe pick up some border line super leaguers like Williams Burke etc
